Synopsis
Birdie McAdam, a ten-year-old orphan, is tougher than she looks. She's proud of her job as apprentice to Alfred the Bogler, a man who catches monsters for a living. Birdie lures the bogles out of their lairs with her sweet songs, and Alfred kills them before they kill her. On the mean streets of Victorian England, hunting bogles is actually less dangerous work than mudlarking for scraps along the vile river Thames (see glossary!). Or so it seems--until the orphans of London start to disappear . . .

Review
"Jinks opens her projected trilogy in high style, offering a period melodrama replete with colorful characters, narrow squeaks and explosions of ectoplasmic goo."
--Kirkus, starred review
--Publishers Weekly, starred review "The first in a projected trilogy, this book treats readers to a lively, engaging story with an endearing protagonist at its center."
--School Library Journal "This quasi-Victorian, somewhat gothic fantasy is a satisfying confection."
--The Horn Book Magazine
